Next year is set to be one of the five warmest on record, climate scientists have predicted.
The average global temperature for 2009 is expected to be more than 0.4C above the long term average, making next year warmer than this year and the hottest since 2005, the Met Office and University of East Anglia researchers said.
Next year is expected to be in the top five warmest on record despite the cooling influence of the Pacific weather phenomenon known as La Nina, in which cold waters rise to the surface and cool ocean and land temperatures.
Just Great. (http://www.metro.co.uk/news/climatewatch/article.html?2009_to_be_one_of_the_hottest_years_on_record&in_article_id=456893&in_page_id=59)
Now they are giving a time table, I hope it's cold next summer. Maybe that will convince some of the fence sitters about this BS. Didn't The Farmer's Almanac predict that this was going to be a cold winter?

It's true. I bet August will be considerably warmer than January.

They'll be the first to crow if it is even slightly warmer than the median temp, giving them a 50-50 shot at claiming some level of success, but nobody will hold them to account if they blow it. Sweet deal for them, an even chance at being Global Warming heroes, and no consequences at all on the downside.

And if it isn't hotter, then Al Gore will win the No-Bell Piece Prize and a bicycle for selling the most carbon credits.
